I solved the similar problem running python3.7 -m venv venv, you can change for your version of python that is installed in your enviroment.

I double it is caused by some networking issue, I run it twice to get 'activate' script installed. Maybe first it can't connect to some source so it just abort installation.

Answer 3

I solved a similar problem by naming it venv2 when I ran virtualenv. I already had a virtual environment named venv for another project. This allowed me to proceed.

Answer 4

i have had the same problem. and what i did is just run the command virtualenv env again. And then more files were generated under directory env/bin, including the activate file. it's so weird. maybe you can have more try.

I experienced this problem when using the --upgrade option. Removed the option, and all ran as expected.
